By making a regular contribution on Patreon, you will allow us to produce better content, cover more games and pay for better web hosting (which means our site won't go down anymore when we write popular stories like Gross Gore's Twitch ban).

We have switched over to a faster, more stable and reliable managed web host but the costs for this are high (almost £1,000 per year). See the bottom of this page for full info on where your donations will go.

We are not expecting much, but any donation you can offer would be massively appreciated - and we have a bunch of support rewards on offer too.

For those who register to our website in order to comment on it (option), or sign up to our email newsletter, we collect their name, email address and IP address. We do not share this data with anyone else, it is kept internally purely for the purposes of allowing readers to access our website and leave comments and interact with other users.

We also store the name and address of competition winners, purely for the purpose of sending them any prizes that are required to be mailed out to them.
